Matt C 452 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 There's something more personal about Studio Ghibli's work. Maybe it's the hand-drawn animation and simpler storyline(s), but the way their films unfold is just magical. Especially when Miyazaki is helming.Pixar, even when they're firing on all cylinders, can't quite attain that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had Cameron been able to make that original date, the follow-ups would've been May releases too.Studios like sticking with the same weekend for sequels.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 This part is interesting.U.S. audiences no longer make or break a movie.The overseas box office will cushion Hollywood’s losses on some of these flops, making it all the more unlikely that executives will learn a valuable lesson from their mistakes. After Earth didn’t do very well here, taking in only $60 million, but it earned triple that abroad; with almost $250 million worldwide in the till, it’s not quite the fiasco for Sony that it first appeared to be. Meanwhile, Pacific Rim has struggled to reach $100 million in the U.S., but the overseas box office is robust enough that Warner Bros. has begun floating the idea of a sequel. Would movie studios really green-light a follow-up to something that lost money domestically? They already have: The only reason we got Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters this summer is because the first Percy Jackson movie made $220 million worldwide, earning a sequel despite its so-so $88.7 million tally back home. (So far, Sea of Monsters is unlikely to make even half that domestic cumulatively.) Red 2 is another example of a summer sequel we didn’t really need: It won’t be a patch on the first Red’s U.S. box office, but Summit is more focused on an overseas recoup anyway. That’s how much Hollywood is in the thrall of sequels: Even when Stateside audiences sour on these franchises, Hollywood would still rather throw out another sequel than finance a blockbuster based on an original idea, which is why you’ll be getting The Smurfs 3 in two years’ time.
